1079. The Frozen Logger (James Stevens) - Lew Dite and Raymond

Right now I'm in Montreal with Lew Dite. Naturally we'll be singing together every chance we get.

This tall story was written in 1951 by American writer and composer, James Stevens (1892-1971).

It has been recorded many times. One of the earliest was by Odetta (1954). Others include Cisco Houston, Jimmie Rodgers, The Weavers, Jim Kweskin, Oscar Brand and Margaret Roadknight.

Lew, you look fabulously enthusiastic at 2:35. Great rendition, both of you. I'm loving hearing these songs duetted.

Oh, Raymond, I learnt this song from The Weavers.

[raymondcrooke]

@ppmcsk So did I, Kwan. I used to sing this one a lot, but it's the first time I've done it without guitar.

[allenshepard]

@ppmcsk as did I from their 1963 concert

@jayrbee60 It is certainly exciting to be singing with Lew Dite. We'll be putting up a lot more songs.
